FAIRFIELD/WILTON - Bus 650, a rickety old vehicle with a barely attached ceiling and crusted snot on the brown upholstery of the seats, struggles with the rolling hills in this park-like upscale residential area in Connecticut. This is where several employees of insurance giant AIG reside - the ones who received millions of dollars in bonuses even after AIG had to be rescued with a government bailout.
The bus's engine coughs, and driver Bill – a golden eagle and 'USA' in thickly embroidered letters on his cap – puts his foot down on the gas pedal. The passengers stare out of the dirty windows at the lavish homes outside. So this is where they live.
